 The Harvard Yale freshman game will be played here June 8. After the game sup per will be given to the visitors at Loomis'. The Mott Haven games took place in New York Saturday and resulted in a glorious victory for Yale. Harvard men were surprisingly defeated aud felt their overthrow sorely. There were four college records broken all by Yale men. In the 100-yard dash Sherrill of Yale took the final heat, with Rogers of Harvard second, time 10 5s. There was great rejoicing over
 Sherril's victory in the Yale camp, this be-
 ing the first time the 100-yard dash has fall
 en to the blue. In the mile walk Harvard had everything her own way, Bemis and
 Wright L. s. coming in abreast in I'm 16s. The 12O-yard hurdle was very pretty affair, the chief interest being as to which of the two Yale entries would win. Mapes of Columbia made gal lsnt race, but the New Haven men, Lud- dington and Berger, off with the lead, the former winning neatly in r 2-5s. The 40 yards dash also fell to Harvard, Wells being first in 53 3-5s, with Banks of Colum- bia good second. The half mile run was highly interesting. There were thirteen starters and they got away in heap, Brad ner, the Yale man, doing some strong run ming for three-quarters of mile, when he broke, and Davenport, Harvard, and Fairies, University of Pennsylvania, showed in front. The two made a fine race home, but Fairies, who is the association's presi- dent, came in first in 2m. Is. The two mile bicycle race fell to Kolb, University of Pennsylvania, in 6m. 5 5s. Harvard has always shown superiority in the 220 yards dash and proved it again Saturday, although Robinson, the Yale sprinter, closely pressed Harvard's crack man, Rogers, who won in 23s., Robinson second. In the tug of war Columbia easily beat Yale, and then Prince ton, and a very exciting pull in the final be- tween Columbia and Harvard was seen. The New York boys pulled scientifically and won by three inches amid wild excitement
 Much interest was centered in the running high jump, Page, University of Pennsylva- via's phenomenal leaper, being entered. A day or two ago he beat all Amer ican records as well as his own by jump ing feet 114 inches. Saturday he easily knocked out his opponents, winning at 5 feet 715 inches. He is very graceful and jumps scientifically. He essayed to break his own record, but failed. Coxe, Yale's captain, threw the hammer 95 feet 6 inches and smashed the record. He also put the shot further than anybody else and again broke the record at 40 feet 911z inches. Rob- inson of Yale took first prize in the running broad jump at 21 71s inches, breaking the record. Little T. G. Shearman of Yale was booked for the pole vault, but Goodshall, 8 dark horse from Lafayette, beat him at 10 feet inches W. B. Curtis, A. A. O., was referee in track events and G. H. Badeau, W A C. in infield points
